The Meraki Way- Somatic Creative Psychotherapy — Psychotherapist in Manchester, England

I had a beautiful experience working with Laura. She has so much wisdom and kindness through the 12 week journey. If you're curious about digging deeper, definitely consider working with her. Thank you so much for offering a kind and safe space ❤️

This was my first time doing anything like this & working with Laura, the whole experience exceeding my expectations! I would highly recommend to anyone on a healing journey or looking for a deeper connection to themselves. Yummy, nourishing food by Ruth 😊

Working with Laura has been an incredibly powerful experience. The freedom, flow and expression that I have found in my body, breath and voice had been so powerful, exhilarating and beyond what I could have expected. I've been a professional singer for 20 years and yet I found a power in my voice in Laura's sessions that I have never experienced before. The ripples into my personal and emotional world have brought some much needed shifts too. I'm so grateful that I discovered this work.

A beautiful experience that opened me up to the true depths and breadths of my feelings. Laura is a calming, powerful, considerate and highly skilled therapist who guided and facilitated me on a journey that has been entirely life-changing (easy words to use, but I mean it!) Initially I had worries about the cost and commitment required for the sessions, but after just one my mind was totally put at ease. If you can afford a full programme of sessions, I can't recommend her enough.

I had the privilege of working with Laura for 10 sessions, and the experience has been truly transformative. Laura creates such a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable exploring my emotions and connecting with my body in ways I never thought possible. Their gentle guidance and deep understanding of the mind-body system helped me identify and release patterns of tension and emotional blocks that I wasn’t even fully aware of. Each session felt tailored to my needs, and Laura had an incredible way of meeting me exactly where I was—whether I needed grounding, insight, or simply a space to feel. I’ve noticed a significant shift in how I process stress and approach challenges in my daily life. I feel more connected to myself, calmer, and better equipped to handle emotions as they arise. I’m deeply grateful for the work we did together and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone seeking a deeper connection between mind and body.

I’ve had sessions with Laura for a couple months and they really have been groundbreaking for my mental health. I began the sessions with a lack of direction and purpose for life. my main goal initially was to establish some sense of direction, this was my expectation. With guidance, I was able to connect with myself using breathing techniques. Throughout the sessions, I came to realise that my overthinking and self criticism had decreased substantially. This was really groundbreaking for me as I dealt with a lot of self shame. I’ve learnt so much things about myself along the way and understanding myself has made self compassion easier to practise. One reason I felt I was able to experience everything is due to feeling safe. I really felt safe in the space and with Laura. I also loved how she allowed me to take lead in my sessions which has helped for me to voice my needs. There are also different techniques which I really enjoyed. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Laura and I feel I got what I was looking for and even more. I feel that I can manage my emotions and take better care of myself with the tools I’ve been given. I would definitely recommend sessions and would suggest going into this with an open mind to see where it goes!

I recently had an online breathwork session with Laura, and it was an incredibly healing experience. Her warm and compassionate presence made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. She is not only highly professional but also deeply attuned to the needs of her clients. The biodynamic breathwork itself was transformative—helping me release tension and reconnect with my inner self during a very stressful period in my life. I left the session feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a renewed sense of clarity. I highly recommend The Meraki Way to anyone seeking a truly therapeutic and nurturing experience.

Laura offers a safe specifically tailored to you practice space. She will guide you through understanding where you are holding tension in your body and give you practical exercises to help you move through them and release the tension. As a dancer I thought I was connected to my body but my world changed when she showed me the ways in which I could breathe more deeply and reconnect with parts of my body that I hadn't realised I had numbed away from due to past trauma. If you would have told me that learning how to breathe in different ways would transform my life prior to starting with Laura I would not have believed you but I am now a firm believer in the power of breath work and the benefits it's brought to my life. Despite no longer having sessions with Laura I continue to practice breath work in my day to day life and share my acquired knowledge to everyone who's interested. Cannot recommend Laura's coaching enough.

Laura’s presence, grounding and centredness make her a wonderfully calming practitioner to work with. I got so much from my sessions that I am now training myself so I can facilitate this amazing healing for others. I highly recommend that you experience breathwork with Laura and see what magic it can do for you ✨✨✨

Worked through the 7 belts of tension in an online group with Laura. Amazed at how good I felt afterwards. I was a bit of a sceptic at first but it actually really works. I feel so much lighter! She is brilliant at what she does and you can tell she is really passionate about it. Explanations and communication throughout were spot on. Would highly recommend! Thanks Laura
